Carpet badly stained. Bedclothes not changed from the previous occupant. Had slept in bed overnight before discovering. Horrified. Television was useless. (Overpriced.)

Reply from Victoria Oladosu, General Manager at Barchester Tandridge Heights Nursing and Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are always striving to deliver high standards of care and I am very sorry this has been your experience.
As the new General Manager for the home, I have discussed this with the staff and put in some extra measures to ensure our cleaning and disinfection procedures are adhered to so such an event does not happen again. I understand you had requested a ground floor room, and unfortunately the only room available was yet to be refurbished, and any further works were put on hold for that time. However, I can assure you the carpet is now in the process of being changed. I hope this response has offered some reassurance but I am also more than happy to meet with you at a time that is convenient to further discuss.

My mother spent 3 and a half years here until she passed away in February this year. She was so happy and always called it home. She loves the staff and they adored her. Having just had surgery, I am now here for respite, nowhere else I would rather be.

My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the hospital.
She was transferred to Tandridge Heights for end of life care. The management and staff were so kind and caring and treated my mum with respect and dignity. They were also very supportive of myself and my elderly father. We cannot thank
them enough.

Tandridge Heights is extremely well run. The management are always available to talk to. The carers are very caring and they know both the 'patients' and their relatives. The food is good and wholesome. The management provide many activities for the 'patients' such as singing, skittles, knitting and
sometimes old films are played.

Was invited to the annual family BBQ in August and I’m glad to say I wouldn’t have missed it for the world! The staff put on a spectacular display of food, drink and entertainment. The care staff waitressed tables and made sure every resident and visitor was offered to pick and choose their drinks and
a choice of hot BBQ food or side salads.
Every staff member had a cheery smile on their faces and the atmosphere was brilliant, music playing, residents singing along.
Despite the windy day, spirits were high and everyone was happy, what a brilliant day that the manager and her team put on. I rarely get to visit my family as I live far away but I can go home knowing they're safe and cared for. It’s a great comfort to myself and my family.

My father came to Tandridge Heights twice, with a range of medical needs. The nursing care he received was excellent, the activities laid on, impressive. Residents are treated with respect and affection. Everyone's lovely! The food is good, drinks, including wine, offered with meals, which impressed
me, and he was given the maximum independence. We were free to come and go to see him at any time. All in all, a very well run place where my dad was made to feel safe and cared for in every way.

This home is fabulous! The manager and the staff are fantastic, from the moment you walk through the entrance you are greeted with smiling faces. There is always someone on hand if you need to ask a question and no problem or request is too big. It has a homely feel about it and you are genuinely made
to feel part of a family. Christmas time the manager even came in to serve a Christmas drink and personally hand out a present to each resident. Knowing my Nan is being cared for in such a manner makes the whole process of her being within a home a lot easier.

Looks pleasant on entering.
The staff were very courteous towards us.
The next thing I noticed was how clean the reception area is and there are facilities to make a lovely welcoming hot drink.
Upon entering my Aunty's room she is happy and clean/tidy.
The staff she says, are so good to her, changing
the menu to suit her needs.
They always offer us refreshments.
Activities are wonderful and make my Aunty feel as though there is lots to look forward to every day.

Extremely pleasant staff greeting you every time you enter the premises.
My Aunty is always clean and her room is tidy.
She is offered alternative meals as she is fussy.
Every time a carer enters her room to help her on the commode I am offered tea or coffee and if I prearrange I can join my Aunty
for dinner.
There are lots of activities going on for the residents to participate in.
A really pleasant atmosphere to be in.

My Mum had to go into a home due to falls. From the moment I walked into the home the Manager reassured me and offered me emotional and factual support and advice. Then another lady kept me calm on the financial front! It has been a massive upheaval and shock, to not only Mum, but to everyone in our
family. Yesterday Mum rang me to say she is happier than she has been in years. Result!

Tandridge Heights is a very friendly homely care home. My mother has a lovely sunny spacious room and as an alternative to her own home, it is perfect. The staff are lovely and make family and friends very welcome. There is a lovely informal feeling about the place and it feels like home. I feel my
mother is well cared for and happy and cannot ask for more. The handyman is worth his weight of gold nothing is too much trouble.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Barchester Tandridge Heights Nursing and Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.820 for Barchester Tandridge Heights Nursing and Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 256 Ratings = 4.82

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Tandridge Heights Nursing and Care Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Nisha

Nisha Sebastian - Price

Job Title: Director (Audiology Services)

Joined: 2020

Nisha works with Tandridge Heights as a sole trader to provide audiology services. Nisha is a qualified solicitor with over 10 years of experience working in the City specialising in medical negligence and catastrophic injury. Following the arrival of her two young boys, she decided to leave her career in law and create a business to channel her passion for standards of care while using her legal knowledge. Nisha leads a team of staff that are passionate about ear care and who understand just how important hearing is. To meet resident’s hearing needs, they have developed a unique approach so that they can look after the health of resident’s ears, as well as their hearing, from the first time they see the resident. Every resident they see will receive a free Ear and Hearing Health Check. The resident’s journey begins with a short 10-minute assessment to check the health of the ear and identify any concerns or build-up of wax. If a hearing loss is identified, they offer a free and comprehensive Full Hearing Assessment during which the resident will undergo a series of further tests to identify the type of hearing loss. The audiologist will go through the different options to suit the resident’s need and with a FLEX:TRIAL, their audiologist can monitor how and where the resident uses their hearing aid so that it can be tailored to their specific requirements. The audiologist also provides aftercare services and a personalised care plan. A video otoscope is used to check the ear so that the residents can see for themselves what the audiologist has found. If a loved one cannot be present, they are also able to send them a copy of the results, ensuring full transparency and peace of mind for everyone.
